The Hixson-Lied Visiting Artist & Scholar Lecture Series is pleased to welcome Rob Forbes at 5:30 p.m. on September 13, 2017 in Richards Hall 15.
Rob Forbes has been a ceramic artist, professor, author, publisher, photographer, and business entrepreneur. He is best known as the founder of Design Within Reach and PUBLIC Bikes. Design Within Reach pioneered many changes that have become mainstream today: internet retailing of modern design, design blogging, transparent pricing, and a focus on designers themselves as much as on their products. PUBLIC bikes is a similar business model with a mission to bring design awareness to public urban spaces and to our civic lives. Forbes recently authored See for Yourself, a visual study and search for beauty in our everyday world.
